look at all those beautiful photos of gorgeous vegetables – those come from a farmer’s market in the middle of milwaukee’s southside which has been set up on a park even though the city only granted a concrete sidewalk. they are reclaiming the space for public use and the farmers on the site look so – satisfied, to be able to sell their fresh produce to people who otherwise have no access to fresh stuff.

today i got the tour from a southside organizer who is part of a collective that owns and operates several businesses and organizations and it was super powerful to see it all actually happening, not hypothetical. i hope in the future i can support this work!
